<h1>DatTools</h1>
- are a collection of tools to create and edit data fields used by ST-Open's database engine (DBE).
<div class="crlf1"></div>
- provide easy to use translation tools for multi-lingual programs. ST-Open's libraries support up
 to 16 languages (menus, dialogs, messages and online help). Users can switch from one language to
 another with a simple click in the running program.
<div class="crlf1"></div>
- are written in 100% hand-optimised assembler code - a guarantee for much higher code density and
 outstanding performance.
<div class="crlf1"></div>
- are 100% compliant to the rules of <i>Intelligent Design</i>. With 21st century's programming
 techniques, programs become smaller and faster than ever.
<div class="crlf2"></div>
<b>Note 1:</b> DatTools make heavy use of XMM registers. A processor with SSE or 3Dnow! extension
 is required to run this program.
<div class="crlf2"></div>
<b>Note 2:</b> <i>Intelligent Design</i> is an optimisation for AMD's Athlon processor family. You
 cannot experience the maximum speed boost of <i>Intelligent Design</i> code if you run it on less
 sophisticated processors with only one or two integer execution pipes per CPU.
<div class="crlf2"></div>
<h2>Language</h2>
DatTools are multi-lingual. Each language field can hold up to 16 languages. You can switch to any
 of the available languages in the running program as often as you want. To switch to another
 language select <i>Program</i>, then <i>Language</i> to open a list with all available languages:

<div class="box100"><img src="./pics/mnu00.png" alt="language selection" width="572" height="192" border="0"></div>
<div class="crlf1"></div>
Select the language of your choice. All menus, dialogs, messages and help texts are changed to the
 new language immediately. Open dialogs are not concerned - you have to close them manually, then
 open them again to work in the new language.
<div class="crlf1"></div>
<h2>Encryption</h2>
To edit encrypted data fields, you have to activate ST-Open's Security System (SecSys), first.
 Select <i>Program</i>, then <i>SecSys Login</i> to start SecSys. You need the master key as well
 as the PIN and password of a user with unrestricted write permission to edit encrypted fields.
